He and his sickos simply don't care about actual laws or appearances. They are the
proverbial "rat bastards".

this is starting to remind me a bit of the halcyon nixon year, from about this time in 73, to when he gave his inspiring resignation speech

that was simply the best!

Hogs don't like giving up a good trough. They will throw Drumpf under the bus in order to keep it.

Downhill in all directions.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving band of brigands.

I think he saw what happened to Preet Bharara and decided to up the ante.

Drumpf can't fire him now without destroying himself in the process.

Very Nixonian days, my friends...

Unless they have some serious dirt on him, I think this is a "he knows were all the bodies are buried" kind of situation. Keep in mind who's really in charge.

Then Comey should find a way to dump all the info on 45 and his band of deplorable.

I could see Trump telling Sessions to "unrecuse" himself and take control of DoJ and perhaps to fire Comey. I could see Boente being demoted and fired for allowing Comey to reveal the ongoing investigation. I think if any of these things happen, Trump's presidency is toast.

Yesterday Comey gave himself job security. I think it is more probable that he cleans house. Get rid of advisors and possibly Sessions. Appeals directly to the public saying the people he trusted lied to him to push their own agenda. Apologize to Hillary and Obama. He'll be like a preacher confessing his sins. He'll pivot to his base. He'll throw them lots of bones.

The repug congress will have to go along in the hopes that this is the only way to save 2018.

He might even put Garland back up for Supreme Court.

He'll be in total save the deal mode which means anything and everything is on the table.

Either that, or he doubles down. And things get ugly. Really ugly.

but it's not something Trump is capable of doing. Heck, he can't even admit he was wrong about the wiretap claim.
